Jet2 reveals new flight route from UK after ‘strong demand’ from Brits

Jet2 is set to introduce a new flight route from the UK following huge demand from Brits.

The airline will be adding a popular Italian city to its offerings later this year, making the destination easier to travel to for Brits.

The move was influenced by 'strong demand' from travellers and Jet2 has said the new flights will be 'perfectly timed'.

Beginning on 21 December, Brits will be able to fly directly to Verona, with the route staying available until 5 April 2025.

Jet2's new route is expected to see a huge surge in interest of resorts in and around the Dolomites, including Val di Fassa, Madonna di Campiglio and Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Verona will be a new addition to the airline's ski destinations, which includes Chambery, Geneva, Grenoble, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Lyon and Turin.

The city is located in northern Italy's Veneto region and is famous for being the setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

Jet2's Chief Executive Steve Heapy said: "We are experiencing strong demand from skiers and snowboarders clamouring to book the best of the action for Winter 24/25 and our ski flights are selling very well.

“With perfectly timed flights, we are giving skiers access to the best ski resorts across Europe, and we know our new ski services to Verona, along with those already on sale, will be a huge hit with snow sports enthusiasts next winter.”

It comes after the airline revealed its new route between Edinburgh and Malta on 1 May after huge demand from travellers.

It marked the first time Jet2 had linked the two airports, with flights running weekly throughout summer up until 30 October.

Those flying from Edinburgh will be able to travel to Malta every Wednesday over the coming months.

Jet2 said that holidaygoers in Scotland will now be able to explore Malta's 'history packed towns and blissful marinas', with the opportunity to discover 'hidden treasures and Italian-inspired cuisine'.

The direct route from Edinburgh joins the other nine Jet2 route to Malta, available from airports located across the UK.

Ahead of people jetting off on summer holidays, Jet2 has urged travellers to make sure they've checked all guidance and information at least 12 hours before their flight.

Customers are advised to arrive at their departure airport at least 2 hours before their scheduled departure time.
